am trying to run the cygwin command in a windows batch file, however, the cygwin command only reaches to the cygwin interactive promt.

my code is as follows in the windows bat file

@echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i split -l 1 test.txt logoff exit

it only reaches to the command interface for cygwin/linux command prompt reached

  • I'm not sure what your issue is, because you've not fully explained it, but I assume that you've not got a file xaa after this script finishes. Is there a file named text.txt residing in C:\cygwin\bin? or does the login via bash automatically change the current working directory to another one? Or are you expecting that the commands which follow bash … are all executed within bash, despite those lines being invoked under cmd? Commented Jun 1, 2020 at 9:44

When you use bash --login -i, you enter in an interactive bash shell.

What you need is :

bash -c "cd /path/to/your-test-txt; split -l 1 test.txt"
